Look what Mario spotted!



Talking of DB...

He also spotted a BBC Trending article headlined Gaza medics back striking English junior doctors...:


...less than an hour after it was published, and sent the following tweet to the BBC journalist responsible for the piece, Mario Cacciottolo:


As you can see, Mario had tweeted about the piece himself to telling us all how it came about:


Fancy that!

Given that BBC Trending is supposed to report on major 'trends' in social media, this was hardly much of a 'trend', let alone yer actual news, was it? 

DB suggested as much to Mario.


Now, what was it about a tweet linking Gaza with the junior doctors' strike that first attracted BBC reporter Mario Cacciottolo to this story, as Mrs Merton might have asked)? 

Would the ever-trending hashtag #bbcbias help supply the answer?

    I'd say DB's hypothesis has legs.

  3. As with the defunct "Echo Chambers", BBC Trending is just a reflection of what left-wing Beeboids think is important. Nothing to do with management structure or executive pay.
